Pokemon TCG Pocket has announced new Shining Revelry expansion, arriving later this month

Pokémon TCG Pocket's next expansion, Shining Revelry, arrives March 27th, bringing 110 brand-new cards to the game. This exciting update includes highly anticipated Shiny variants of beloved Pokémon!

My engagement with Pokémon TCG Pocket ebbs and flows. I'm fully invested during new set releases, especially while chasing those Emblem rewards requiring around 40 wins. Afterwards, I typically log in, open packs, enjoy a Wonder Pick, and then take a break until the next expansion. That cycle restarts with Shining Revelry on March 27th.

The expansion boasts 110 new cards featuring new Ex Pokémon, Trainers, and stunning art cards. The highlight? Shiny Pokémon! These alternate-colored versions of familiar favorites—think a yellow Lucario instead of blue, or a pink-striped Pachirisu—add a fresh visual appeal.

The trailer (see below) offers a sneak peek. A powerful Shiny Charizard Ex arrives with 180 HP and the attack "Steam Artillery" (150 damage, requiring five energy). However, its "Stoke" move adds three Fire Energy at once, mitigating the high energy cost.

Another notable addition is Lucario Ex. Previously a support Pokémon in Space-Time Smackdown, this version is ready for direct combat. While its 150 HP isn't overwhelming, its "Aura Sphere" attack deals 100 damage (three Fighting Energy) and an additional 30 to a benched opponent's Pokémon.

Beyond the Ex Pokémon, Shining Revelry introduces attractive Shiny Wiglett, Pachirisu, and Varoom cards. I'm personally excited about the gorgeous Tatsugiri art rare card.
